PDFCreator COM - Default Printer - Remote Desktop

@sreg wrote:

I am using PDF Creator for Terminal Servers.
I create a PDF through a VBA script that uses the COM interface.

Question 1:
Can I specify in code which printer the COM object should use?
Now, I can change the default printer before and after the code executes.

Question 2:
Why Is this behavior occurring:
I have a PDFCreator on the server, but also a PDFCreator on my client.
I connect via RDP (Remote Desktop) to the server. My PDF Creator on my client is mapped on the server and set as Default Printer. The code below is executed on the server and I want the PDF to be printed on the server.
When I try the code below, the job in put in the queue of my local client, not the server.

Set queue = CreateObject("PDFCreator.JobQueue")
Set printJob = queue.NextJob
queue.Initialize
'do actual printing
queue.WaitForJob(15)
Set printJob = queue.NextJob
printJob.SetProfileByGuid ("DefaultGuid")
printJob.ConvertTo ("c:\temp\file.pdf")

Problems with usage for RTV Xporter

Hello,

RTV Xporter is a tool for Revit and recommends PDFCreator as it's printer. The goal is to create PDF files of a serious of sheets where the sheet number will be the filename of the created PDF automatically without any further input.

The problem is that PDFCreator still asks for each file a location and name.

Is there a setting I overlook or is there a "paid" PDFCreator which would be able to do that?

Thanks in advance,
wolfgang

WaitForJob Never Succeeds

I'm writing new, very basic code to intercept a print job and create a PDF from it. My WaitForJob statement never succeeds, even with a 120 second wait time. In the migration flowchart, it simply says "Print a file that you want to convert". Can someone elaborate on this?

  • Can/Does PDF Creator watch the queue for the default Windows Printer? Where is it watching?
  • Does the Default Windows Printer have to be PDF Creator?

I'm obviously missing something. Any help is appreciated.

PDFCreator - Page Orientation Solved :-)

Hi,

I really need to create landscape slides (PDFs) from landscape printing from a vb.net application. Unfortunately, for the last 5 years, PDFCreator always decided to print the PDF's with a portrait orientation. I then turn them using a Web PDF Rotation service.

So I had a look under the bonnet of PDFCreator and realised it is little more than a wrapper around a product called Ghostscript. More reading suggested the Ghostscript's autorotatepages function was struggling and needed a hand. Lots of reading of the Postscript Manuals left me realising that I need PDFCreator to read this line of Postscript:

-c "<</Orientation 3>> setpagedevice"

I set the "Additional Ghostscript parameters" textbox in PDFCreator and tried again. Still no luck!

I searched for other approaches and found this:

<< 
 /EndPage 
 { exch pop 2 ne 
   { [{ThisPage} <</Rotate 90>> /PUT pdfmark true} 
 {false}ifelse 
 } 
>>setpagedevice

I could see no way to prefix this with a "-c" so I saved it in a file called rotate.ps, in the "C:\Program Files\PDFCreator\GS9.10\gs9.10\Lib" folder and put rotate.ps in the Additional Ghostscript parameters" textbox.

This time I had success. The output from my application reliably produces landscape output from a landscape original.

Whats more if <> setpagedevice is put into the rotate.ps file this works too!

So like buses, I now have two different, but functional solutions.

I would be grateful if a pdfforge engineer, a Ghostscript engineer or a postscript professional would comment.

Thanks

Hi all,

Or I must read from registry?
There is a way to know the differeces about it from 1.X to 2.X?

License question

@dlarson wrote:

Regarding PDF creator, in our Test environment PDF creator works fine. When I tried to move it to the production server, I got an error that because Terminal Services is installed on the Server we need to purchase the terminal services license. Terminal services is installed to allow both developers and admins access the production server simultaneously. The server is not being used by multiple users to access PDF creator. Just our business process that runs on the server. Is the increased licensing costs truly necessary for such an environment?

Renewal license temporary

Hi,

I have a question regarding the license for three terminal servers. We are currently in a project to move from a Terminal Server situation to a VDI environment and the fact is that the current Terminal licenses will expire on 26-07. Probably the transition to VDI will be somewhere in august this year. Is it possible to reuse a renewal for the Terminal server to a single licenses (Business) edition? Or can you offer us a temporary license for the terminal servers so we can bridge these few weeks? I hope to hear from you soon. Many thanks an best regards,

PDF Creator on Windows XP Prints Once and Then Hangs

@LivingAwake wrote:

We have PDF Creator installed on a Siteground cloud-based Windows XP server. We have used it on the server for over 5 years.

Recently, about 6 weeks right after Windows sent out an update in response to a virus PDF Creator started having issues. It prints once and then somehow hangs up. It does not show in the print queue though. It will not print a document again.

Then if we soft reboot the Windows XP server, it will print again and then hang up again for the next print.

Both Siteground tech support and our company's tech support are saying it is a conflict issue with PDF Creator communicating to the Windows print setup.

I have installed and reinstalled PDF Creator several times. And it does not make a difference. We have also used CCleaner to uninstall leftover files and clean the registry.

Has anyone experience this issue since the last Windows update? or any suggestions on how to resolve it? or has PDF Forge had this happen to others in the past month or so and can advise on what to do?

By the way, we did test using Win2PDF and CutePDF and they are working fine so it definitely is a PDF Creator issue. Please help! We would much rather use PDF Creator.

Activation issue

@Gerald1 wrote:

Hello,

We recently purchased PDFCreator Terminal Server. We run version 2.5.2 on a citrix xenapp 6.5 server with windows 2008 R2.

At this moment we have to reactive the PDF Creator license every day. This is because we are running citrix with provisioning services which means the servers are in read only mode and all changes are gone after a reboot (which is every night).

I can probably do the activation in the master image but if the activation expires every 2 weeks this will consume alot of time. Also since the license is valid for 1 year i don't get why the activation needs to be done every 2 weeks. Is there any solution so the activation doesn't have to be done every 2 weeks?

With Kind Regards,

Gerald
